Here's more wrestling news for September 9th, 2022.
And we're starting off with AEW which has been reeling from
the fiery comments made by cm punk and the world champions
backstage fight with the young bucks and Kenny omega.
It's been noted that several AEW employees have been
suspended, but there's no word on who or for how
long, but there's now been changes to tonight's dynam.
Dave melter writes in the wrestling observer newsletter
that Chris Jericho and John Moxley will now be appearing on
dynamite despite previously not being scheduled for the event.
At first, this has led some to speculate that those at the top
of the company, maybe even punk, himself have been suspended.
And Tony Khanis trying to replace him with fellow top
names all out saw moley lose the AEW world title to cm punk
in the main event while Jericho defeated Danielson and a
hotly fought contest between the two former WWE champions.
We'll hopefully have a better idea as to who's been suspended
after tonight's episode of dynamite is concluded, but at least
we now know that Jericho and Moxley will be staying on TV.
The general consensus with fans is that punk is the blame for
what happened as it was his comments during the media scrum
that led to the fight backstage during the press conference.
Punk said that Kenny omega and the buck spread false
information about him and criticized their management abilities.
Punk.
Didn't just stop there.
Insulting Adam Page and bashing his former
best friend called cabana in the process.
Sam punk clearly has no problem speaking his mind about others.
And during an appearance on ad free shows, Eric Bishoff
had some choice words of his own for the best in the world.
I'm remaining hopeful that this is a really cool
multi-layered storyline, and it's all going to kind
of come together and we're going to get excited.
I really am hopeful that that's the case, but
here's why it's hard for me to remain hopeful.
You got your baby face coming out
and whining like a bitch, bitch, dog.
Okay.
Don't anybody get upset, female.
Whining like a female dog, but he's supposed to be a baby face and
he's putting heat, not on MJF, presumably that's where we're going.
So rather than putting the focus on that and using the scrum,
which is a complete fucking joke, but using this scrum opportunity
to create a buzz, rather than focusing on MJF, what does he do?
He goes after the young bucks, he goes
after hangman page better be part of a plan.
We better be seeing teams lining up.
It's so fucking whiny.
Like, it's just, why do I have to get up here and address this?
You know, this is like high school shit.
And obviously something clearly, Phil, Sam punk's
real name is he, this has left some scar tissue and
I get that disappointed feels betrayed possibly.
Who knows?
I don't get what the story was and who did what to who?
It doesn't really matter.
But at some point you got to let that shit go, bro.
You can't let it get in the way of how you're perceived as a charact.
Punk is in theory, AEW's top baby face,
but he's certainly not acting like one.
So it remains to be seen what comes next for the reigning world
champion punk angered a lot of people with his comments at the
all outpost show media scrum, but the Chicago made wrestler
does have some backers during his drive through podcast.
Jim Cornett shared his 2 cents on the situation and is on team punk.
I see a lot of people on Twitter today
going, how dare punk do something like this?
Well, I believe the motivating factor in all this
was when old hangman page did the exact same thing.
Only not as good and in a more passive aggressive way, which is
how the young bucks and all of their little buckaroos do things.
The incident Cornett is referring to as comments made
by Paige allegedly off script from months ago during
his world title Fued with cm, punk, which punk is
used as justification for everything he's done since.
Cornett went on to bash page and the elite himself and accused
those who punk bashed and later fought as being unprofessional.
They like to just run their Dick licks behind people's back and
in quiet instead of doing it out in front of them or in public.
But if we're talking about unprofessional behavior and,
or telling the truth, imagine that on television, then
page crossed that rainbow bridge first with that pro.
Ironically Cornett has been highly critical of AEW over the years.
And while he's now on board with their world champion, it
only took a massive controversy for the veteran wrestling
personality to root for someone in Tony Khan'spromotion.
Since Vince McMohan retired in July, WWE has undergone several
changes with many of the ex chairman's ideas being undone.
It was reported recently that WWE has scrapped
McMohan's rules against using real names on WWE TV.
But now another former rule has been
removed on wrestling observer radio.
Dave Meltzer pointed out how during the six woman tag it clash at the
castle, both teams interfered to give their partner the advantage.
It was explained that during McMohan's run as head of
the company, repeated interference spots would lead to
a disqualification, but that isn't the case anymore.
So far fans have been pleased with the changes
made to WWE following McMohan's departure.
And there will now be some extra chaos during tag team
action at WWE clash of the castle Roman reigns retained the
undisputed WWE universal championship against drew MacIntyre.
MacIntyre got extremely close to
ending reigns to your tenuous champion.
And while the USOs did not interfere solo SKO
made his main roster debut by aiding his cousin.
Speaking to BT sport.
MacIntyre said that rains has always been his cryp tonight, but
that the tribal chief has surrounded himself with a bunch of, yes.
Men MacIntyre added that with all these, yes.
Men telling rains how great he is.
The head of the table's inflated ego.
Isn't ready.
When a superstar like himself for Brock Lester comes along.
Hence the need for interference.
Clean win or not.
Rains is still the undisputed WWE universal champion, and
looks likely to be entering into a feud with Kevin Owens
based off of comments made by the prize fighter on raw talk.
As for MacIntyre, he's vowed to one day
be the undisputed WWE universal champion.
But this past weekend was just not the night for the Scottish warrior.
More from the cm punk saga.
Now is when he joined AEW a source with N WWE.
Infamously said, he's their problem now?
Punk's incidents as of late are not the first time he's had issues
in a promotion as after his 2014 WWE walkout, it was reported
that he'd often been difficult to work with in the promotion
while discussing the situation on his to be the man podcast.
Rick flair was asked by Conrad Thompson.
If he'd spent much time with punk and
said he didn't see punk much in WWE.
Addressing the reports of heat between punk and triple H
Blair said he always cited with the game, hardly surprising.
Given the close relationship between the two WWE hall of Famers.
Blair went on to say that what punk has been doing real
or not has been very entertaining and compared the AEW
world champion statement that he'll walk down the hall
and be ready for a confrontation to the late Harley race.
Punk's recent actions have had people talking, even if it's put
a status with AEW in jeopardy and whatever comes next, flare and
countless others are enjoying what they're seeing in lighter news.
The acclaimed have become one of the
most popular tag teams in the company.
So they came up short at the all out pay view.
Max caster and Anthony Bowens got close to becoming AEW world tag
team champions, and they have some extra motivation to win the gold.
As Bowens explained to wrestling ink, Mark
Henry has refused to scissor with the acclaimed
until they are the AEW world tag team champions.
When asked about possibly working with the world's
strongest man on TV bow said they still have Billy gun,
but didn't rule out working with Henry as their heater.
When asked if there's anyone he'd like to scissor with Bowen
said that the proverbial forbidden scissor would see him work
with Tetsuya NATO, adding that he loved to punch him in the face.
During the post all out scrum, Tony Khandid suggest that
acclaimed could get another shot at the AEW world tag team titles.
So their dreams of getting to scissor
with Mark Henry May not be dead just yet.
And we're ending today with news, from impact wrestling
as Delo Brown's time with the company has come to an end.
PW insiders.
Mike Johnson revealed that brown had finished with
the company and in a statement impact EVP Scott
Damour wish Delo nothing but the best in the future.
